15 Large Indian Almond Leaves 6''-8'' for freshwater shrimp & betta fish

There are many reasons why you might consider adding Indian almond leaves to your freshwater tank, including their medicinal properties and popular usage as an additional food source for shrimps and small fishes. Indian almond leaves come from the Terminalia catappa tree. The leaf of this tree is especially known for its ability to act as a natural medicine and aquarium water conditioner for betta fish and shrimp tanks when the leaf has emerged in water for extended periods of time. Indian almond leaves are said to help combat fungus and bacterial problems like fin rot and can further help prevent fish from getting stressed by mimicking the water they are naturally found in. When placed in water, Indian almond leaves slowly start to decompose. While this happens, the leaves turn the water a yellow or brown color by releasing tannins. These tannins gradually lower the pH of the water and are said to have antifungal and antibacterial properties, which comes in handy when you have a fish suffering from fin rot or when you’re raising vulnerable fry. *Indian Almond Leaves will float until saturated, then sink to the bottom of your tank. *These are matured dried Indian Almond Leaves & naturally fallen. *Shrimp loves to feed on Indian Almond Leaves when it is softened. *Simulates black water condition which is the natural environment for tropical fishes and shrimps. *Enhances fertility in fishes and shrimps. *Cure sick fishes of bacterial infections and to help with fin rot
